I’ve Been Tagged!
October 13, 2008 – 6:17 pm
Fall is in there air and I’m loving it! It’s hard to stay inside, I have cabin fever! So, for a different kind of post– I’ve been tagged!
My friend Allie, who is a children’s portrait photographer in Milwaukee, tagged me to share 7 random things about me. The Rules are:
1. Post the rules on your blog.
2. Write 7 random things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.
4. Pass on the tag.
So here we go–hopefully this is actually interesting, lolol!
1. My favorite hobby is “reading” books on my iPod; I just finished 1776.
2. I can make up a silly song about anything to entertain a fussy/sick/bored kid. Just don’t ask me to sing in front of adults, because I can’t carry a tune to save my life!
3. I actually *liked* getting up in the middle to the night to care for my newborns. Weird, I know!
4. I often dream that I’m swimming under water and can breathe the water like a fish. Can anyone psychoanalyze that for me?! 
5. I became a Christian 6 years ago after the birth of my son. I was agnostic; but one look into the tiny, lovely, amazing face of my miracle baby was all the proof I required that God in indeed very real and very present in my life.
6. I really love my… Bento Laptop Lunchbox! Seriously, it’s the most exciting thing since the Holly Hobbie lunchbox I had in elementary school! Now I’m the mom & the one making the lunch, but regardless, the Laptop Lunchbox is waaaay cooler than Holly Hobbie.
7. My secret childhood ambition was to be a soap star! [*gasp* I can’t believe I’m admitting this!]
That’s it! Now to tag some other friends–Gretchen, Patti, Angela, Linde, Joyce, Sherri, and Becca. Have fun girls!
Oh–and because I don’t like to post without a picture, here is the little face I referenced in #5.

It’s no secret how much I love twins, so I was overjoyed when I got the opportunity to document these 2 little cuties! A & A are just precious and we had a great time together. Here’s a quick sneak peek for you, Mom, because I *know* you’re waiting for it!

I loved this family so much I did TWO sessions! ha, ha, just a little joke for them! Actually, about 5 minutes into our BEACH session a huge storm rolled in and we got rained out. I had a blast hanging out with them watching the Olympics as we waited for the storm to pass! But it never did, so we scheduled a re-take for the next day. It worked out beautifully in the end, as we were blessed with perfect weather, happy kids, and gorgeous light.
I know you’re looking for it, so here’s your Sneak Peek, D! Thanks for allowing me the honor of documenting your family!

On my iPod this week is the song, “Circle of Friends” by Point of Grace. For 2 years my kids & I have been blessed with a very special group of friends. We’ve enjoyed countless playdates, afternoons at the pool, shopping trips running errands, homeschooling adventures, neighborhood walks, travel, laughter, learning, & growing. Things are shifting a bit as my oldest son starts school this fall and the rest of our group continues homeschooling. This is an exciting new adventure for my family, but bittersweet as we’ll miss our extra time with our friends and I’ll miss the wonderful homeschooling community in Hampton Roads. But what comfort to know that we will always have these precious memories and these lovely kids and their mamas in our lives. We love you guys!
And here’s the song. Excuse me while I get more tissues…

I loved meeting and photographing baby E. She was a joy! Her parents were cool and relaxed, and so well prepared! They brought snacks, toys, changes of clothing, and Dad even pulled a towel out of his bag when E got soaked in the fountain!
